Blue Skies & Black Smoke
ModpackBS&BS is a refreshing but simple take on modded skyblock. (and no, it isn't ex nihilo.)
Description
WELCOME TO THE SKIES
BS&BS is a lightweight skyblock pack I made because theres a severe lack of decent skyblock modpacks, also because I can't find anything due to the flood of cobblemon packs. (seriously guys, its getting out of hand.) If your looking for a fun challenge, look no further!
Getting Started
BS&BS Features a difficult but fair progression through the game, with a focus on occultism and create for the early game. To progress, you will need to make use of custom crafting proccesses, as well as your own ingenuity.
To get started, punch a tree. The little blue book in your inventory will open the quest menu. But dont think for a second you'll get straight to sieving, because ex nihilo aint here bud!
Custom Recipes
Every recipe added or changed is to aid progression, or to add a way to obtain an item which would otherwise be inaccessible. Most changes involve create, though there are some others.
(Made on Potato) (If you have a suggestion for a change let me know on the discord)
